Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, these Zucchini Tots are a delightful and healthy twist on classic comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini

  4. Fill a greased 24-cup mini muffin tin with the mixture, pressing down gently.
  5. Add panko breadcrumbs on top of each tot for extra crunch.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool for a minute before removing from the tin and serving.

Notes

These Zucchini Tots can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. For quicker cooking, use an air fryer at 375°F for 10-12 minutes.
